DOI: 10.1016/j.foot.2017.04.007
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Because of poor skin conditions and comorbidity, open reduction and internal fixation in ankle fractures is frequently contra-indicated in the elderly. This study reports the results of two temporary fixation types in fragility fractures… read more here.
